The 2018 Annual Safety and Security Report and
Annual Fire Safety Report are available for your review.

The Annual Security Report (ASR) provides safety and security information to
current and prospective students and their parents, as well as to faculty and
staff members. Statistics comparing crime over the previous three years are
outlined in the report. In addition to outlining the different security
resources the campus has to offer, the report also includes statistics on crime
that occurred where University students stay whileon University-sponsored
travel, traveling within the United States or abroad, area crime reported to
off-campus law enforcement agencies as well as to several University
departments that report data back to our Police Department.

As you look over the statistics for 2017, you will see there are two murders
reported. The first was the murder of 2nd Lt. Richard Collins, III,
in which an arrest was made shortly thereafter. The accused is charged with
murder and a hate crime and is expected to go to trial in January 2019.

The second murder occurred while a University of Maryland (UMD) student was
traveling as part of a University-sponsored trip out-of-state. In the summer of
2018, in response to a Clery Act travel inquiry, the University of Maryland Police
Department (UMPD) was notified of a murder that occurred in the common area of
a hotel in Chapel Hill, NC in February 2017.The student was staying in the hotel at the time of the murder.Clery Act regulations require that this crime
is included in our statistics, as it occurred in a Non-Campus Property/Building
for 2017. The student was not a victim, nor suspect in the incident.

There are a number of statistics worthy of mention. Burglary/B&E and Motor
Vehicle Theft numbers have continued to decline to historic lows.The primary reasons for these results include
the restructure of patrol service and camera surveillance enhancements.Furthermore, drug referrals and arrests
remain at all-time lows due to the decriminalization in 2015 of small amounts
of Marijuana in the State of Maryland. The Clery Act does not require
the reporting of statistics for the crime of theft, which, by far, is the most commonly,
reported criminal offense on campus.

This report reflects changes in data
sets due to revised reporting requirements and the development of new ways to
report.Footnotes, which clarify where
changes in reporting have resulted in a noticeable variance from previous
years’ reports, are included in the interest of transparency.

The men and women of UMPD are
responsible for keeping the UMD College Park campus safe and secure.
We do this in partnership with the Prince George’s County Police Department,
working together to keep the surrounding areas safe and secure.
